Reshoots are common when it comes to the production of Marvel Studios movies and TV shows, and are actually an ingrained part of how they approach storytelling.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania reshot its ending just five weeks ago, for example, but some newly released behind-the-scenes photos reveal Hope Van Dyne once had a son in the threequel...and a very different look. Needless to say, we're sure you all have questions about what's going on here.
While some have speculated that the movie might have once revealed that Scott Lang and Hope had a child, that doesn't make sense for a number of reasons.
For starters, they both vanished during The Blip and this kid is way too old to have been born following the events of Avengers: Endgame. With that in mind, we can likely discount this being an alternate ending.
A plot leak from last year revealed that the "Probability Storm" Scott and Hope find themselves in the midst of previously focused more on showing them what their lives could have looked like. Clearly, The Wasp was going to get a glimpse into a reality where, instead of becoming a superhero, she became a mom. This may have also been a future Kang promised Scott.
Hopefully, this scrapped sequence ends up on the movie's eventual Blu-ray, but that could depend on how soon into production the decision was made to remove it from the story.
"Despite being an example of why a movie shouldn’t be shot almost entirely in The Volume," we said in our recent review of the movie, "every time Jonathan Majors steps on screen as Kang, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is an epic tale to astonish and a monumental chapter in the Multiverse Saga."
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is now playing in theaters.
